  • If the conflict lasts longer, then their alignment would be immenent.

    Indeed. I do think this is why the US is seeking to end the war quickly.

    Personally I’m surprised that they didn’t align more. China was being surprisingly passive about the whole thing.

    China’s policies is for long term military and economic growth without the use of foreign alliance. The PRC doesn’t like to take risks when they don’t have to, and a rapid military alliance with Russia will come with plenty of risks that the Chinese might want to avoid.








  • Technically it’s western hegemony. US alone isn’t capable of a global economy hegemony, despite being the largest economy in the western hemisphere. Rather it’s always that EU aligns their policy with the US government.

    Besides that, I don’t think it will happen. Only Brazil is making this proposal, the other BRICS nations aren’t interested. They aren’t looking to quickly break western hegemony either.

    It’s clear to everyone that western hegemony is coming to an end, and these larger BRICS nations seem content to let it happen gradually rather than make a direct effort to end it quickly.


  • But the main BRICS countries have been creating new payment methods for a while now, with a few successes.

    Their alternatives to SWIFT is very successful, it’s how both Russia and China have made themselves immune to the secondary effects of western sanctions against Russia. However besides the international transactional agreement, only Brazil have proposed an alternative to US currency, but the other nations have no interest in this.

    IMHO, it’s probably because Brazil is most vulnerable to the US dollar. The economies of China, India, Russia and SA are not as dependent on the US dollar, since they also trade significantly with non-western nations.


  • It’s not “China” that get’s away with anything, but the Western media that’s branding them as “Communist” as a form of derogatory propaganda to mark them a copy cat of the USSR.

    Right from beginning China has always called themselves “PRC”. People’s Republic of China. They are a dictatorial republic akin of Cesar’s Roman Empire, with a government structure based off communist ideology. But their economic policy have always shifted with the times, it was similar to the USSR when they were the fastest growing economy, and now similar to the US.
